Chapter 122: International Students

After speaking, Tianjing did not reply on the spot, and did not agree until the ship was about to arrive in Hangzhou, presumably through the consideration of the past few days, he had lost confidence in Wanting's plan. Chen Jialuo was secretly happy when he heard this, since he had already contacted the White Lotus Sect and the Qingshui Sect, it was okay to have so many Hongmen, Fujian and Guangdong were adjacent, if Hongmen had an incident, it would definitely divide Fujian's troops, so that his pressure would be less.

After accomplishing a big event, Chen Jialuo's mood was much better, and he paced to the deck to blow the sea breeze, but saw Luo Bingzheng standing on the bow of the boat in white clothes, the sea breeze was blowing slightly, and the clothes and belts were flying like a fairy, Chen Jialuo was in a trance for a while, and the impulse of cos under Jack rose in his heart; As soon as she walked behind Luo Bing, she turned around when she heard the sound, so she had to give up.

On this day, the ship finally docked at the wharf, and there were already people from the Red Flower Society waiting here at the port, Chen Jialuo took Luo Bing, Tianjing and Wang Jinglong, the representative of the Qingshui Sect, to change horses and rushed to Ma Shanjun's courtyard by the West Lake.

"Welcome to the helmsman, the helmsman has worked hard all the way!" , The safflower club, which has not been seen for many days, is waiting at the door with a brush, and when they see Chen Jialuo, they bow their hands.

"Your brothers are hard, come on, come on, I will introduce you to you, this is the good man Wang Jinglong of the Qingshui Sect, when the seventh brother was in Shandong, Wang Yingying took care of him a lot, this time Wang Yingying arrived in Hangzhou, don't snub others! Set up a banquet tonight to catch the wind and wash the dust for the king and heroes! Chen Jialuo pulled Wang Jinglong in front of him, and everyone in charge greeted him warmly.

After a lively while, Chen Jialuo arranged for everyone to go down to rest under the pretext of being tired from the journey, and soon after returning to his room, Zhao Banshan came to the door, "Chief helmsman, at the beginning of the year, you instructed me to look for talents, the younger brother has already contacted several Europa instructors, and the ship that went to the Wa Kingdom to find the successors of Mr. Shunshui is also on the way, and when the chief helmsman arrives in Fuding, they may be able to arrive!" A few days ago, I went to sea, but there was an unexpected joy! Let me find two missionaries! ”

"Oh? What nationality are you from? Chen Jialuo was overjoyed when he heard this, he is a liberal arts student, and he has to rely on professionals to farm these jobs, and Zhao Banshan got two of them after the meeting was held at the beginning of the year, considering the traffic conditions of this era, this three masters can be described as quite efficient!

"Well, these two are not Europaans, but Chinese people." , Zhao Banshan slowly told the experience of the two.

In 1754 (the 18th year of Qianlong), on the dock of Macao, 21-year-old Gao Zhisi and 20-year-old Yang Dewang boarded the galleon of the French Indian Company and sailed out into the vast ocean. This trip was sent by the Jesuits in Beijing to study in France, and among the companions was a person surnamed Chen, whose name is unknown. Gao and Yang were both born in Beijing to Christian parents, and both attended a church school in Beijing. This time to be able to go to France for further study, of course, is an opportunity for the two of them, and from the church to their parents, they also have high expectations for these two young students.

After arriving in France, Gao and Yang Dewang successfully entered the Royal Academy in Lavres, where they studied French and Latin, as well as theology and logic. After graduating from the college, the two came to Paris and asked to become monks in the convent, but the French Jesuit president, considering the opinions of the Jesuit priests in China and taking into account the actual conditions of China, did not approve it, but arranged for them to continue their studies in the Jesuits. Later, the French Jesuits were suddenly dissolved, and the whereabouts of Gao Zhisi and Yang Dewang suddenly became a problem. Fortunately, in Brocaville, Carat and St. With the help of prominent figures such as the Count of Florentine, the French government provided them with an annuity of 750 liels, allowing them to continue their research work in Paris. Considering that Matteo Ricci and others had entered the circle of scholars and doctors in China with science and technology, the two applied to study at the French Academy of Sciences and successfully passed, and in the following years, they studied theology while studying mathematics, physics, chemistry and heaven with Lagrange and Lavoisier. The year before last, Gao Zhisi and Yang Dewang finished their studies, and decided to return to China to serve, and planned to take the sea ship of the French Indian Company, and applied for the prime minister of Bai Tan, who was also in charge of the company at that time. In order to cherish talents and in-depth communication between China and France in terms of cultural, academic and technological exchanges, Botan asked His Holiness XV to extend the period of study for the two of them for another year. Louis XV gladly gave them a prize, including objects that embody the art of French arts, crafts, and the new scientific arts, such as telescopes, microscopes, hand-held printing presses, precision instruments, and fine decorative glass, enamel, and gold watches.

In this extended year, they worked tirelessly to study the similarities and differences between Chinese and French arts and crafts and the production of French scientific instruments, from Lyon to Dofe, visited many workshops and workshops, and followed the famous professors Brusson and Cade to study physics, chemistry, naturalism, and learn Western machinery manufacturing and copperplate engraving, for use after returning to China.

After listening to Zhao Banshan's words, Chen Jialuo opened his mouth in surprise, I thought that the young children who studied in the United States after Gengzi's indemnity were the first batch of international students in China, but I didn't expect that someone would go across the ocean to study more than a hundred years ago! These two are the first batch of international students! Who said that the Chinese did not have an enterprising spirit, and in the eighteenth century there were people who traveled thousands of miles to pursue science; If it weren't for the entry of the Tartars, Matteo Ricci, John Tang and others who brought Western technology, and the promotion and propaganda of enlightened doctors such as Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua, someone would have gone to Europe with missionaries a hundred years ago, right? At that time, the Enlightenment had just begun, Newton had not yet summed up the three major theorems, calculus was still hidden in his and Leibniz's heads, and when the Chinese returned from Europe, the collision of the two civilizations would surely collide with brilliant sparks; Chinese have always been smart and diligent, more than 50 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they caught up with the West's centuries of scientific and technological accumulation, if they came into contact with Western science and technology at this time, then catching up with and surpassing the West in the eighteenth century may not be a luxury. Unfortunately, the barbaric and ignorant Tunguska savages ruined all this, and the books that Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua had painstakingly translated were burned by the Tatar chieftain and ordered to be banned, and the Chinese's footsteps to catch up with the West came to an abrupt halt as soon as they took a step, and the consequences were artillery aggression again and again, one unequal contract after another, until the British bombarded Humen for a hundred years, and the Chinese stood up again.

These two people must be used well! "Hurry up and invite the two of them over, no, no, no, I'll visit in person!" , Chen Jialuo said excitedly.

In 1650 A.D. (the seventh year of Shunzhi), Zheng Manuo, 24 years old, from Xiangshanao (Macau), Guangdong, accompanied the Jesuit Italian Wei Kuangguo to Italy by boat, and later entered the Roman College to study the "study of physical inquiry", that is, physics, chemistry, biology and other natural sciences. Zheng Manuo is the first student to study in Europe. These two men actually returned to China in 1764, and I brought the time forward, when Lagrange and Lavoisier were only in their twenties, and they had not yet achieved so much in their academic achievements, but who called me a liberal arts student I don't know what kind of cattle were in France at this time, and who knows what kind of people in France made it for me to revise. These two people are Chen Jialuo's farming technology, thank you for the information provided by Wu Huaxia.

Thanks to Kusakabe Maro and Guanxi Chen for rewarding zongzi.
